I feel your pain sister. I am so new to this, I actually have to stop completely and just make sure I am playing the right note. It's a struggle, but it sounds like you love it, so you will push through.
Much love,

Patrick Smith said… - Hi Michael,
Love your spirit. I came to the guitar as an adult also, nearly 30 at the time. Began seriously practicing at 33. Anything is possible. Take it one note at a time. Be gentle with yourself. The results can be amazing with guitar playing or anything if you plug away each day. Let me know if I can assist you in your pursuit.

- Michael,
if you're looking for lessons check out any issue of Acoustic Guitar, you'll find a ton instructional videos and cd's and books, most of which are very reasonalbly priced. I'm self taught, and it can be a struggle..but I stuck with it, and still playing over 50 years later...and still learning about the guitar. I can ever offer you any tips or suggestions, just pop over to my page and leave a comment.

- Greetings Michael...and welcome to the AG Community. If I read your discussion properly, you are practicing playing notes on a single string...if so, in tab, an open note is designated by a small "o" above the string at what would be the "nut" on the guitar. not sure what "AARGGH" means, unless it's the sound of frustration. I think you also mean "tablature" as apposed to "tablet". Anyway, get hooked up with the Newbies Group here on the site...lots of useful tips and suggests for beginning guitarists.
